The annual Ski Trip was awesome - for most of us :)
Great snow.  Kirkwood wasn't too crowded.  I made some money
at the casinos.  We met up with some old RT alumni.  And most of us
had a great time.  Some got some unexpected exercise on an extended
hike.

One quick story...
So Sarah's car left around 10:30 on Monday headed for SLO.
Travis's car (the last one to leave), left at about the same time,
but had to drop off the keys to the condo at the real estate office.
After that we decided that we needed to gamble, so we stopped at
the casinos and ended up staying for an hour & a half.  Travis
made $100 and I came out $15 ahead.  Then we got on the road and
learned that Sarah was still in town, stuck in traffic for the 
last 2 hours.  Since we were hungry, our car decided to stop at
Albertson's and we got a ton of chicken & other food and a MAP.
We asked the locals for the quickest way to get around the traffic.
About 15 minutes later, at a stoplight, we pulled right in front
of Sarah's car.  The phone rings, "I didn't just see you, did I?"

...no but we ate too much and we won $115 while you were in
traffic and now you're behind us :)


===================================================================
>>>>>> GENERAL MEETING this week
===================================================================
We are having a General Meeting this Wednesday, Feb 21 at 7pm,
upstairs in Mott Gym (the Green Room).  We'll be talking about
the big UCSB Men's basketball game, free rally's & Tri-Tip BBQ,
and Marde Gras.  We'll be building our Marde Gras float, so come
to the meeting for float building times and Marde Gras parade info.
Haven't been to an RT meeting for a while?  Stop by and say Hi.
Meetings are usually only a 1/2 hour long so it won't take too much 
time out of your busy schedule.


===================================================================
>>>>>> UCSB invades Cal Poly
===================================================================
Sources tell us that UCSB is bringing approx. 100 students and
another couple of bus loads of fans.  That means that we need 
everyone at the game, otherwise, Cal Poly will be outnumbered on
their home court!  Please come to the game and wear green & gold.

Here's the schedule of events for THURSDAY's game day:
-11am UU Hour: We'll be passing our flyers
-12pm: Rally in the UU
-5pm-7pm: Free Tri-Tip for all dormies at VG's
 Free Concert & Rally @ VG's
 Pick up your free ticket @ VG's for the UCSB basketball game @ 7pm
 before they run out
-7pm: Men's Basketball: Cal Poly vs. UCSB in Mott Gym

Bring your attitude, energy, Green & Gold, and signs.  You cannot 
say "You Suck" on your signs, but they never said anything about 
saying "You Swallow".  Today's fact of the day: UCSB students are
known for having the highest STD rate.  Some call them UCSTD.
Maybe that will stir some creativity when making your signs.

>>>>>> Marde Gras
===================================================================

Mark your calendars!  Marde Gras is on Fat Tues: *** FEB 27 ***

general meeting for float building times.  Also if you want to be
in the parade, come to the General Meeting.  If you can't make the
